Thanks Anmer,

Hopefully the other person on the forum had similar luck with a re-installation.

Did you uninstall SBS-1 Populate before trying a fresh install?

The most recent Windows update is Pending on my PC.  I'll see what gives when I run it 

[Anmer]

Latest Windows Update installed and SBS-1 Populate working as normal.

No need to do a fresh install.

Windows 10 64 bit:

August 8, 2023—KB5029244 (OS Builds 19044.3324 and 19045.3324)
August 8, 2023-KB5029649 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 and 4.8.1 for Windows 10 Version 22H2

Successfully installed on ‎11/‎08/‎2023

[Kev_Strickson]

same updates as mine.
Do you have a  link  for the  64 bit GAS populator so i will try a fresh version

kev

[Anmer]

I've uploaded three versions of SBS-1 Populate:

1.32.0.13 GAS

1.64.0.13 GAS

1.64.0.13 dutchradar.nl

I don't know which version you had installed.  Mine is the dutchradar version.

When do you get the error?  When you load SBS-1 Populate or when you use it?  And how do you launch it?

[Kev_Strickson]

No joy on those  exactly the same failure message.
This is what i do

1) download wib zipped file
2) extract to a seperate  file
3) Run set up (either as administrator or not)
4) it  pops up showing its starting to install
5) I then get the error I mentioned

Any ideas ?

Hi Kev

Did you uninstall previous version?

This may help:

[Kev_Strickson]

Cheers for the ongoing help
Found the folders in app data removed them all rebooted and  re-tried , and got the same error
Downloaded  the MS Clean removal tool and  cannot find any  entries for gatwick /GAS / sbs populator

So no joy from that .net url that was  sent

[Anmer]

Did you uninstall SBS Populate using Windows "Apps and Features"?  Check if it still shows as an installed app?

[Kev_Strickson]

Nothing in : Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
Nothing showing in Registry either under  local user - software  or local machine - software

[Anmer]

Before trying the following, maybe close and restart Windows and try a reinstall again? 

If that doesn't work, using File Explorer with Options set to:

Show hidden files, folders and drives - checked
Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) - Unchecked

Navigate to Users -> your login name -> AppData -> Local -> Apps.

Expand each and every subfolder and look for any files referencing SBSPopulate.  There may be more than one such folder.

Copy any of these folders and files to another location, such as a USB or SD stick/card as a backup.  Make a note of the folder name containing these subfolders and files as you may need to retore to that location.

Be careful with the next step and only delete the folder and files referencing SBSPopulate.  Do not delete any folders or files that you haven't copied as a backup.

Please do not attempt the above if you have any concerns and do so at your own risk!

[Kev_Strickson]

No issues with getting  this in depth mate
Followed instruction backed up files
There was a  few folders in there that mentioned sbs deleted as requested
What was left was empty folders

Re-launched installer package  and same issue.

Looking in the folder there was a  2.0 folder installed and a few other blank foders

Have attatched screen clips

[Anmer]

Thanks Kev.

Sorry, my posts always assume basic IT experience/knowledge   

If you've cleared and deleted all the folders that had any SBSPopulate data I've run out of suggestions.

Years ago the late Gary Jones suggested this approach when there was a malformed SBS-1 Populate install.  But I can't find the email which was about 15 years ago!

Sorry, I'm at a loss!
